Boone Community School District

During National School Social Work Week, we recognize the valuable contributions of our school social workers and their colleagues nationwide. The role of a school social worker is to provide critical mental and emotional health support to students—and by extension—parents, school staff, and the broader community. We’re so grateful for all they do!
